  1. don't be an idiot on Aerospace Engineer Named Lego Czar · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's not all about the money for all of us, you know.

    How else are we to measure how favored one is by God ?

  2. "best and brightest" (?) - driving us into a ditch on NASA's Commercial Plans for Kennedy Space Center · · Score: 1

    Nice how that shows everything coming together at 1-to-1 in 1996 with the actual dollars vs CPI adjusted dollars. And then crosses over, with each subsequent year dollars buying less. Thanks for the assfucking Wallstreet, would you like another bailout?

  3. TREATY?! We don't need no steenkin' TREATY! on NASA's Commercial Plans for Kennedy Space Center · · Score: 2

    Don't like us strip mining the moon? Well come on up and do something about it beeotches!


    And realistically, at this point in the game, I foresee absolutely nothing that would be exported back to Mutha Eurth except information and energy. Anything you build out there is most likely going to be local support infrastructure or outward looking.

  6. Re:Did they ask how many want it on Two-Thirds of US Internet Users Lack Fast Broadband · · Score: 1

    pork belly prices have been dropping all morning, which means that everybody is waiting for it to hit rock bottom, so they can buy low. Which means that the people who own the pork belly contracts are saying, "Hey, we're losing all our damn money, and Christmas is around the corner, and I ain't gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip! And my wife ain't gonna f... my wife ain't gonna make love to me if I got no money!" So they're panicking right now, they're screaming "SELL! SELL!" to get out before the price keeps dropping. They're panicking out there right now, I can feel it.

  7. beat the rush! personal incorpation only $99! on Domestic Use of Aerial Drones By Law Enforcement · · Score: 1

    Judges in the USA have already ruled that nobody ever has a legal expectation of privacy.

    except for corporations (soon).

  8. the man who mooned Hitler on Italian Scientists Demonstrate Cold Fusion? · · Score: 1

    goddamned time-travelling trolls are the worst kind.

  9. yeah, but... on Italian Scientists Demonstrate Cold Fusion? · · Score: 1

    they claim to be far along in the process of commercializing their invention.
    Since this purportedly releases radiomination, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if they bothered to develop some understanding of what's really going on before selling their gizmos to any gullible Thomas, Richard and Harold who will then radiominate the unsuspecting public.

  10. Re:Wozniak's Apple Is Completely Dead on The Case of Apple's Mystery Screw · · Score: 1

    Actually, I find the slotted driver to be MORE useful than the Philips. Not so much for driving screws, but as a general purpose small pry bar and/or small chisel. Great for jamming into the seal of a jar lid that is too strong to be done with a butter knife.

    It saddens me to see such blatant tool abuse freely admitted on /. ! You sir, are worse than Hitler! You make baby Eli Whitney cry.

  11. Re:Yay! on The Case of Apple's Mystery Screw · · Score: 1

    "Mystery Screw"?
    Is that the modernized version of the game "Mystery Date"?

    Somewhere in the 99 hells, Eli Whitney yells in rage.

  12. Re:Tried to like it but too many flaws in Fringe on J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting · · Score: 1

    Jasika Nicole is so cute I could eat her up. And it's fun watching her subtle reactions to Walter's far-out behavior.

  13. not the worst out there on J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting · · Score: 1

    I like Walter, he's a hoot.

    Olivia seemed to have as much personality as dishwater until recently. (Granted, if they're trying to portray her a self-sufficient, reserved character, it just doesn't make engrossing TV). Now she might actually turn out to be interesting. But it seems like the writers strangely aren't properly using things about her that they've related in the past.


    For all those hatin' on "Fringe", what do you really think Fox will replace it with if it's canceled? "The Twilight Zone", produced with a cache of lost scripts written by Rod Fuckin' Serling ? At least it's not some damn overhyped reality show.
    And furthermore, "The X-Files" had its share of creature of the week episodes, too.

  14. only go see that guy at 4:45 PM on a Friday on J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting · · Score: 2

    you forgot -- the team makes 7 diagnoses, 6 of them wrong, 2 life threateningly wrong.

  15. Re:Make your own on The Case of Apple's Mystery Screw · · Score: 1

    WTF kind of wussy "geek" are you? If you're going to do it, do it right:

    1. Take an impression from the actual screw in clay,
    2. Carve the rest of a standard hex tool bit out of the other end,
    3. Make a mold from suitable material
    4. Go to your back yard, charge and fire up your crucible furnace made from an piece of sewer pipe,
    5. Cast the bit in iron (make some extras for step 7, below)
    6. Blog about the process
    7. Sell the extras on ebay to less competent people
    8. Profit! (no underpants and no step ??? required, although suitable safety gear strongly reccommended for step #5)

  16. Jobs, you missed it! on The Case of Apple's Mystery Screw · · Score: 5, Funny

    If Apple wanted to be real assholes, they could have made the screw heads look bitchin' like this. Good luck finding a common source for screwdrivers that look like that. And then they could use trademark/copyright/DMCA to crush anybody trying to sell Chinese screwdrivers on ebay.

  17. Re:Well done, Gearbox on Duke Nukem Forever Release Date Revealed · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure this was one of the signs of the end times that Glenn Beck was warning us about.

    You think that your app is somehow on a level playing field with Playboy or any other major corporation? Good luck with that.

    This.
    A google times this.

    Apple's behavior should be giving apoplexy to anyone that supports real net neutrality.
    If it were up to IBM or Microsoft, there never would have been any google or hotmail or youtube or geocities or facebook or IMDB or twitter or flicker or slashdot or redtube.

  21. don't fall for the propaganda! on New Sunlight Reactor Produces Fuel · · Score: 1

    You know, it's people like you that keep us from the Star Trek future of tolerance, peace and plenty that Osama bin Laden is trying to lead us into.
